Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has completed a tender process for the procurement of research and development services related to technology's role in assisting victims and witnesses in preparing for court experiences. The challenge aims to utilise technology to reduce the impact of giving evidence during a criminal trial. The procurement process was cancelled, and the buyer is the Scottish Government. The tender falls under the services category and involves IT services, consulting, software development, and health and social work services. The tender took place in the United Kingdom, with the main procurement method being an open procedure.

This tender offers business growth opportunities for companies specialising in research and development, IT services, consulting, software development, and health and social work services.

Notice Title

How can technology reduce the impact of giving evidence in court by helping Victims & Witnesses prepare for the experience? - CivTech 7 - Challenge 7.10

Notice Description

The court/ remote site environment currently attended by people affected by crime is not trauma informed. They are told when to attend, where to go and how they will give evidence. For many people affected by crime attending court and providing evidence can be more traumatic than the crime itself. This trauma can impede their ability to give their best evidence. The challenge can be met by utilising technology to prepare people who have to go through the court room experience as victims and/or witnesses, and reduce so the impact of giving evidence during a criminal trial.

Lot Information

Lot 1

CivTech's mission is to drive daring and innovation in the public sector by collaboratively solving Challenges that make people's lives better - and in doing so create generations of sustainable, high growth businesses. CivTech brings together public sector expertise and private sector innovation to solve real problems, develop new products, and deliver better, faster and easier services for everyone. Central to the approach is co-production with the citizen. Part of the Scottish Government's Digital Directorate, CivTech's approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better. Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in. The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create products as quickly and effectively as possible, and uses a true Accelerator model at the heart of its Innovation Flow model. For you - whether you're an individual, team or company - it's an opportunity to take on a Challenge , solve it, and win contracts with a blue-chip public sector organisation. You'll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here's the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren't 'single organisation' problems - most exist worldwide. In short: Open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage which runs from the 15th of August to the 2nd of September 2022, where they are then developed further [and for which participating applicants are paid]. The best go through to the Accelerator - a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech's unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the product to the world. The Accelerator Stage will run from the 3rd of October 2022 to the 28th of January 2023.
